Regarding the damage of weapons, it works differently to other games. In STALKER, higher difficulty means both you and the enemy will take less bullets to kill. Same as with the harder difficulties in the Metro series of games. So really, rather than the easier/regular difficulties being easier, they're actually more of a pain in the ass.

LuKazu That's a great idea.

Definitely getting a Stalker game now just from this difficulty thing. I like my games realistic and fair in the gameplay aspect. I always put it off though because of it *looking* dated and generally something as buggy as DayZ. Maybe not.

Is that how the English version works? Cuz in the Ru version, at least from my 7+ years of experiencing it, harder difficulties make the enemies bullet sponges and you can get killed in an instant, while on easy you kill in a few bullets anywhere, and in one with a headshot. I advise playing the Russian version anyway, with subtitles on, since the voice acting in the Enlish version are horrendous.

Actually Artificial Intelligence is exactly STALKER's strongpoint. The problems really are these frustrations where the AI pushes you or falters, but apart from that no other game has its simulation or combat AI. Some come close in one OR the other, true, but not both. Like any complex system it fucks itself up though. Such is life really.

Bobistdeinemuda I dunno, Bandits seem to just run straight at me and mutants either stand in one spot soaking up bullets or run like a headless chicken and hope to bump into me. I've had the cloaking cthulu ones (shit I can't remember what they are called) actually unable to attack me because I was standing in a different room. I could clearly see them trying to get to me through the doorway, but their nodes or something didn't extend beyond that door, so they were stuck. Once you start fighting the factions outside of random bandits however, their AI really shines. The way they work together is unprecedented. Even games with "smart ai" tend to fight like people playing paintball or having a water gun fight. It can still be effective, but they don't act like people and they don't act like soldiers. STALKER on the other hand, their more organized enemies do, and it shows you just why these tactics work in real life: They're really friggin effective and real people can't keep loading saves when they die. And then when they AI starts setting up traps? Turning off their PDA so you no longer know how many are really there, and when you make to leave thinking the area is clear, turns out at least one was hiding just outside where you would look on your way out, and pops you in the back of the head... brutal. Heck, that tends to be a trend. Climb a ladder, the guy moved to where your back is turned and waits on you to pop your head up, ending you in a moment.

This and Escape from Tarkov only proves to me that the Metro series should release a game set in an open world that happens mostly on the surface with all the mutants and other monsters with you left with barely any resources and you're gonna have to make it through. I hope you do a video on the Metro 2033 and Last Light games because I've never really played any other game like them. Sure, they're not perfect, but in my opinion they had so much potential to be so great and you can see glimpses of perfection throughout the game. The game at its core is a very survival type FPS but with an amazing atmosphere. If done right, it could easily be a better game than STALKER and Escape From Tarkov. And yes I know that both Metro and EFT have ex-STALKER devs in their team and took some inspiration from the game.

The Dead Immortal It would be really cool to see Metro get an open world, but that kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. The game is about exploring a world made in a Metro. The claustrophobic atmosphere is always supposed to make you feel weird. That would be lost, but Dmitry said that he would like to span the world of Metro outside the Metro. I feel like S.t.a.l.k.e.r. allows us to live that out without the consequence of backlash.

+Sparkies DEB Generation I respectfully disagree. When I read the book and also played the game I was the most fascinated with the surface. But being the pussy I am I actually preferred the metro and accompanied by my comrades but to me the Metro series were always trying to reach that point where they would eventually explore the surface in its entirety. Like to me that's what the book/game's end goal is. And it would be perfect if in their next installment the surface is slowly becoming more habitable and thus you'll be tasked with exploring it and preparing the place for human habitation. It would fit perfectly in the lore and would make the game even better. But I also still love the Metro. I don't think they should get rid of the Metro it's the complete opposite. I hope they also expand on the Metros. Make the stations bigger and more explorable. How weirdly it sounds, the Metro quickly felt like home to me. I fucking loved that, and I wish they made every station explorable with side quests and like. I really wish they made the Metro games more in the vain of a survival RPG

Aleksa Petrovic I imagine you might get different answers depending on who you ask, but Stalker has quite a bit of story, and I'd say to play the others for understanding the world/its factions, its mechanics/story, and to appreciate the improvements made with each iteration. There is a bit to unpack with Stalker, and like watching the Star Wars movies in a particular order, many people agree there is just a certain way to play through the games for the best experience. Not to mention, CoC can really be overwhelming, broken, or downright boring to someone who has no idea whats going on. Obviously, it is 100% possible to stick with CoC and do it first and play any of the games you want in any order with any mods, but some things are just easier done in a specific way.

Try Kenshi (Higher end pc) or Mount and Blade (lower end pc). Chances are you know of Mount and blade but Kenshi is a bit more obscure. Kenshi is literally the definition of your own story. It starts with an extremely in depth character creator, you literally start as a nobody. That's the premise of the game. You start as a wandering nobody who has to up the ranks of a giant 800+ km map. You can be a farmer, a soldier, or a fucking king and much much more, my first play through I got caught stealing from a general goods store and was knocked out, imprisoned, and given to slaves and enslaved, on the long journey in the desert I managed to run away when a group of wild dogs attacked the slavers and the slaves. I made it to a desolate town in the desert where I would end up dying of thirst. It's an amazing game!

This S.T.A.L.K.E.R. needs help... So I decided to mod Stalker this time using JSGME (before I always did it manually) and from what I read my current load order of the mods Raycevick is using including a few others is... -Arsenal Overhaul 3.1 -Outfit Add-on 1.4.7 -Outfit Add-on AO3 patch (Smurths Dynamic HUD. Within Smurths mod I used 3 separate folders in JSGME so it loads in order) -Folder A "Install files" -Folder B "AO+OA Compatibility patch" -Folder C within "optional HUD and npc" folder, I merged "HUD full lite" then "minimap on" then "npc spot friends, hostiles, & dead bodies" in to one folder -Autumn Winds 1.9 -Dr X questlines 1.25 -Dr X Dynamic Faction Relations 1.8 -Dr X Faction Relations 1.6 -Dr X More Mutants 1.1 -Increased Weapon Damage 1.6 Load order goes top to bottom, however I manually installed CoC patch up to 1.4.22 so load order is on top of CoC 1.4.22. Is this load order right? Because I'm getting graphics errors. First thing I noticed is the icons are out of wack in the inventory. Update: Nevermind. I must have rushed because in the OA AO3 patch folder I had nothing, after adding the patch everything was in order and the graphical glitches are gone. Well, I since I run a laptop not meant for gaming I run the video settings very low, that being said I can't really see any changes that Autumn Winds have made. I pretty much run the same setup but without OA, Smurths, and IWD (and Autumn Winds) before using trying this combination of mods. Even though I always play on master difficulty after installing IWD I absolutely *DO* notice a difference in weapons damage (and this is from someone who already has about 1000 hours of Stalker already). It's nice to use the weaker guns effectively and not have them be worthless POS. Weapons damage has been worked so larger cal weapons are still the cream of the crop but the small cal weapons are still effective in combat against people using armor. (There are 4 variations of IWD going from lightest, light, heavy, heaviest damage. I'm using light.) Smurths mod is AMAZING for immersion! I knew about before but didn't give it a chance because the helmet hud seemed like it was too obstructive... not in the slightest. There is a helmet overlay but you can still see pretty clearly, and the mask breathing sound I thought was going to be annoying after a while... wrong on that as well. As I said, it's amazing for immersion. (There's animations for using items that are pretty cool and add to immersion and there's options for having helmet hud and mask breathing sounds, all can be turned on or off if you so wish.) Other than that, DrX Questlines will cause a few CTDs when accepting certain missions so it's a good idea to save BEFORE saying "yes" to any missions, from anyone (merch or Stalker). From what I gather it's because certain missions (after installing DXQuestlines) conflict with the missions that were in place for CoC or something. Enjoy.

I played each game in the series on Master and have done at least two plays of each game in the series. It was memorable to say the least, glitches included.

On my first playthrough, I dropped the game, but I decided to try it again and immidiatly played 3 hours in one sitting. Stalkers combat isn't necessarily bad, it just takes a significantly different attitude and mindset. If you go into an encounter with the expectation that you're going to miss your shots, and knowing that getting close to an enemy is a death sentence unless you can kill them instantly, I would argue Stalker has some of the best gunfight in gaming

Two Words: Warfare Mod. I had to spend about 30 minutes trying to defend Rostok and Rad 100 Bars from the invading monoliths coming from the north of that area map. I was part of the Loner group and currently had a healthy relationship with the local Duty. From the South, Bandits were invading and Freedom was coming from the east (I never had a problem with Freedom due to neutrality). I've spent 30 min at the north guard post fending off monoliths with RPG 7s and big guns with my favorite weapon, the AKM with all upgrades on bullet velocity and accuracy. I had a makarov as my secondary. MAN, the monolith wrecked the Duty at the north post as one unbelievable shot with the RPG killed 5 guys. I didn't want to die because I had ironman on, so I retreated to the south and had to deal with the bandits (which were easy to fight off but kept coming every 30 seconds). After a while I headed back north. The monolith pushed through the north guard post as no one was there and the Duty had to fight the invading monoliths coming into their base. the remaining loners in the Rad 100 fend off the monoliths like hell while duty got overrun by the monoliths. Eventually, the loners fell at the bar. Then the monolith took control of rostok who sent men to the southern and eastern guard posts who annihilated the crap outta Freedom and the Bandits simultaneously because of their friggin' RPGs. I just left the area and headed to the Truck cemetery and died on my way to Cordon at Dark Valley where AI just insta killed me (I did put the difficulty on master but I thought that was too fast to die from a 9x18 Bizon...) If you're lucky, you will have a good time. This was CoC 1.3.2

EliteDeltaTeam true stalker. I love warfare. I was playing Ironman and was a Military grunt. I had a M416(fully upgraded with 40mm) and actually made friends with the Loners(Dynamic faction relations) and we held off the military base in Aprogrom. The Clear sky faction overran the swamps and headed to our base, they came in through the gate but the BTR wrecked them. The loners rushes to help but had many dead because of the overwhelming amount of CS. Me and the Garrison pushed them out of the compound and put up a defense. A soldier radioed in and called a MI-24 to come and support, we pushed them out of aprogrom and took back some of the upper outposts of the great swamps. We were gonna go on a rampage through the swamps and kill every last CS. I was then shot by a sniper up in a guard tower. Life in the zone is a damn lie, it makes you think you are Rambo and then *PUFF* a .338 tears through your body armor and hits your heart while your squad looks at you shock while a MG suppress the sniper.

I don't think Shadow of Chernobyl's first mission is "awful". It's a simple mission where you and a few guys assault a house full of bandits. Which quickly gets you into the action and lets you familiarize yourself with the guns and the AI. The only real "awful" aspect of it is how you have to assault the house with very poor weapons and you don't get a good weapon until later unless you assault the military to the north or the military checkpoint to the south.

Yet to play last light, but I completely agree with "Metro was intense, unforgiving" and it was amazing to play. For example I remember playing this one level for hours, a railway with the Reds and Nazis, pushing myself to preserve as much ammo and medkits as possible for the next big battle coming up. Restarting from a checkpoint over and over to achieve my goal. It was fun, despite how boring it seems in words.

Brutal Demon I remember that during a long railroad trip I forgot to pick one filter and in the next part I was unable to do anything, and since I advanced to the next checkpoint where I had to get out of the car and explore a little room, there were no filters inside, I just kept dying and dying. I was running, scouting the place looking for a filter, knowing I would die if I didn't find it... and I didn't. The game punished me for making a mistake, to the point I had to restart the whole chapter. Few games will do something like that, and the atmosphere, the feel of the game was so good, so immersive, I felt like I was going to die irl.

Near the end of the video when you mentioned boring predictable sequences in games, such as turret sequences you get board and doze of. I have had experiences with such games and falling asleep because it was late(around 10-11). But there is this one stalker experience I will never forget. It was 4 in the morning.I was underground hiding from an emission while tracking down the Pearson I needed to kill. When I came across a dark room with a mutant I had never seen, with powers I have never experienced. I froze, I was terrified(also didn't help that there was these ghost like things chasing me). I was tired and never once felt like dozing off. The atmosphere is so immersive, it felt like I was there. With stalker there can never be a dull moment, and sure it has it's problems, but it will always hold a place in my heart. If a game this old cane make me feel more immersed at 4 am, and not make me want to sleep. Then games today don't have much of an excuse.

Stalker Anomaly is basically a repack of CoC on a newer version of the Xray engine. It implements a bunch of mods featured in this video just built in. It's story mode is also a bit more structured. And has just as many addons updated/created to work with it. It'd be cool to see you revisit Stalker, seeing as we might have a new Stalker game in the next year.

Anomaly is not just COC, anomaly is evolution of modding, after COC, call of misery came out because it was inspired by misery mod, afterwards last hope came out and introduced new things, fixed things from call of misery etc, and finally anomaly was borned over these years of mods merging with each other etc..

The first time I realized the Zone was dynamic was during my first playthrough of Call of Pripyat. It was the mission after you first get to Pripyat where you have to ambush the Monolith soldiers and get the Gauss Rifle. It took place during the day, so I could see everyone clearly, and finish the mission, even though I had died a few times in the process. Now, during my second playthrough, the mission took place dead at midnight. It was pitch black, and I could only see enemies by their flashlights and muzzle flashes. If you know this mission, then you know that it's basically scripted that your entire squad dies and you're the only one left. And you also know that the Monolith soldier you have to kill is high up on a rooftop, and impossible to see at night. If I hadn't already played through the mission and knew all the enemy locations, then I would've been screwed. Even then, I just hid on a rooftop for a few minutes waiting for the sun to rise so I could see everything clearly again. Stalker is truly unforgiving.

the only thing I can remember that dies through a script is the Sniper (The soldier who positioned himself on the silo on the same mission). I always reload if someone dies because a the end the soldiers are quit helpful on the last mission (and yes, I managed to not let people die on the last mission) Well there are situations in shadow of chernobyl where the AI is programmed to walk through certain anomalys so that they can die. Ohh and the scientists (heli crashpoint) in call of chernobyl die when they walked past a specific line before they cross under the bridge where the fire anomalys are located.

It's weird hearing other people's first encounter with Forester, my friend found him after a short trek from Freedom home-base in Yanov, you found him on the start of your quest as a friendly face in a cruel world, and I found him while seeking shelter from the mutant and monolith infested Red Forest unarmed and afraid in the middle of a dark stormy night.. I just love shit like this where a players experience is always different because of how you choose your story to go.

hit detection - and projectile ballistics in general - are EXCELLENT in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. what you call bad hit detection is just bullet-sponginess of the enemies (due to playing at lower difficulties) combined with you missing your shots.

Enemies are bullet sponges "even on regular difficulty" lol. Difficulty pretty much only changes the damage bullets do, which means you are faster to die but so are your enemies. Pretty much everyone online says the highest difficulty is the best way to play the game. People should play the game vanilla with the highest difficulty before they think about modding.
@snark567

I played the games on stalker difficulty and I never found them hard, then again I always pick off the enemies one by one at a distance and always aim at the head so they never felt "bullet spongy" since they died fast. I guess that argument comes from people who try to play Stalker like a CoD game and get pissed when people don't die when you shoot them in the chest so they bump up the difficulty but now the enemy bullets kill them in seconds, so they go around and tell people how hard the game is and how they quick save and quick load every 5 seconds.
